H 25.5
I am an owner of a 25.5 and do like the boat. As with any boat, I would check the topsides very carefully for any signs of softness. Also find a means of looking over the bottom. H 25.5s are prone to blistering if left in the water in my area. I ended up putting a barrier coat on my boat and have had few problems since (mine stays in the water year around), but I believe blisters could get out of control on my boat if I had not put a good barrier coat on it and make it a habit to check closely and fix any blisters that appear whenever I can. I think you would enjoy an H 25.5. They have some goodies that seem to be missing on later models and are easily handled by a single person. I find the weaknesses in the model (every boat has some) to be minor and the boat to compare fairly well with others in that size class.
